the reviews were too complimentary of the soundThe bass response is very good....which probably explains all the great reviews...but there was loss of definition in mid and high range. I have two other brand name headphones of approximately the same price, and though these have more bass, the overall sound is not as good. I went from headphone to headphone a dozen times on the same recording of our choral group to make my decision. They are more comfortable because the thick padding doesn't put so much pressure on my eyeglasses frames. They look good and I like the thicker cable. If I had not listened to my other phones, I would have given these 4 stars.

Surprisingly solid headphones!For the low price you pay for these, you get alot of sound. The main strength is the solid, loud bass, slightly muddy, but very good. Mids are just slightly veiled but are good overall. A slight eq adjustment will help this. The highs are very good, not harsh or essy. The build quality is solid & it reminds me of the Sony MDR 7506 style. The pads are the same size & I put a set of velours on these which increased the comfort level. I'd give this set a rating of 7.5/10. Good headphones that are worth the price. I enjoy using them.

Good sound for the priceFirst set was defective. BH replaced them and the second are fine. They sound pretty nice for the price, and I am a pretty picky person. They are cheap enough that you won't be heartbroken if they get left somewhere, or broken, but sound good enough to enjoy the music. They definitely have that low end made in china feel to them, but the sound quality is leaps and bounds above their price point and they do feel pretty durable overall. The headband is metal (at least the part exposed by the adjusters) and the padding is decent out of the box. Treble is clear but not harsh. Mids are great in my opinion. Bass is punchy, some frequencies sound just a tad muddy. Sound wise, they seem more like $60-90 phones rather than $30. Took one star off due to the feel and possible build quality issues, but that's the tradeoff for the low price I think.

Good enough.For field video production and catching on-screen reads, these work perfect for me. They block out most of the exterior noise and let you listen to what your mic is grabbing. For advanced studio work, maybe you want to get something higher end, but very happy with this purchase.

Great ValueNice warm, full sound. Fairly well balanced. Slightly bass heavy. Great for MP3 players, laptops, and cell phones.

Great headphones, would recommend to a friend!They are comfortable on my ears and don't cause soreness with long use. I bought these because for part of my day I work in a crowded room and want to be able to get into the zone with my work. The headphones don't leak any sound, which was a must, and i'm still can hear my coworkers if they are trying to get my attention. They were everything I was looking for in a pair of headphones and came at a really good price! I'm not an audiophile, but I think the sound is great.

Wonderful Headphones for the PriceI use the headphones for production and post sound mixing for film and casual listening, and I'm extremely impressed by these headphones. I was already a fan of Tascam, so I had high hopes, and the price tag worked perfectly for me, though I knew I may need to sacrifice on sound quality. I was blown away by the quality when I received them. Others have said the bass can muddy out the mids and highs, but I thought there was a good mix out of the box, without sacrificing a punchy bass. The only down side I have, and why I've give a 4 rather than 5 star rating is the construction of the headphones. The pads and height work great for my large head, but the plastic doesn't seem durable, which could be expected from headphones in this price range. The chord could be thicker, however it's length is fantastic. Overall, a great pair of headphones that can stand up to some of the more expensive ones. TL;DR: Great sound for an inexpensive pair of headphones, construction as expected for the price.

Good valueSurprisingly good for the price. Decent sound, very comfortable and I like that they come with a pouch. I don't know if I would use them for critical mixing work, but they are good for tracking and casual listening.
